2023 Review of Intelligence Qualifications

Ringa Hora Services Workforce Development Council has reviewed the Intelligence qualifications, and now invites your feedback on the proposed changes to the qualifications by 10 May 2024.

The current qualifications are available here.

The reviewed qualifications are available here:

• New Zealand Certificate in Intelligence (Introduction) (Level 3) proposed version 3.
• New Zealand Certificate in Intelligence (Information Management) (Level 5) proposed version 3.
• New Zealand Diploma in Intelligence Analysis (Level 6) proposed version 3.

We engaged with the sector to work with a review panel to inform the review of the qualification/s and to recommend changes.

The main changes proposed as a result of the review are:

• The New Zealand Certificate in Intelligence (Level 5) with strands in Collection, and Collation [ref: 2394] will have a new title as The New Zealand Certificate in Intelligence (Information Management) (Level 5) to broaden the focus on information management for intelligence purposes. The strands have been removed to have a focus on both collection and collation under information management.
• Some changes made to credit distribution and weightings of Graduate Profile Outcomes of The New Zealand Diploma in Intelligence Analysis (Level 6).
• Programme endorsement considerations have been added.
• Minor wording changes for clarity.
• Updating of references to resources and relevant legislation.

Your participation in this consultation is invited

Your thoughts and feedback on the proposed changes are welcomed, particularly about any key changes such as credit values, and changes to the outcomes and qualification specifications [if relevant]. If you are happy with the revised qualification, please complete a stakeholder attestation (NZQF7) link and return it to us.

Please send your feedback and/or stakeholder attestation via email to [email protected] by 10 May 2024.

We look forward to receiving your views so we can finalise the proposed changes and submit the reviewed qualification to NZQA for Quality Assurance in late May 2024.

We are happy to add people to the email network at any time. If you wish to be included in the email network or have any questions, please email [email protected]
